Tile Impact Protection

The BACKER-LITE crack isolation membrane allows the subfloors of your home to absorb compressional and tensional stress caused by weather, settling foundations and everyday wear and tear. Its superior design allows for just one pass of thinset to be used which saves vast amounts of time and setting material.

Without the membrane, tiles will typically crack and deteriorate, but with the BACKER-LITE crack isolation membrane, you can rest assured that your investment will remain beautiful for years to come. Once the subfloor can be walked on, tiles can be laid immediately. For renovations and new construction, BACKER-LITE offers maximum installation reliability and is quick and easy to install. Flooring use only.
